during King riots, i was in community college, i was taking criminal justice as a minor/ i had a police chief as an adjunct professor for one of my courses. we discussed this case in class and i was the only one who was not swayed by the media’s portrayal of the officer beatdown of King (because i was constantly exposed to conservative radio at home from my dad)

i couldn’t get across to any of them, that the media was portraying everything falsely. not even the police chief who was, in some opinions, pretty far right.

Painfully, sadly, Schieffer and I are both graduates of Texas Christian. He is more famous, but I am far more useful and considerably more professionally skilled in my field (psychiatry) than he is in his (cheerleading a treasonous administration).

Incidentally, I took my gorgeous Japanese American girlfriend to a hotel room and stayed there during the riots.

It’s almost like they are encouraging a race war…

Race riots this summer would be such a “distraction.” Hmmmm.

They’ve already got the Zimmerman riots planned.

Ever heard of Garden Plot?

“The President is authorized by the Constitution and Title 10 (10 USC 331-334) to suppress insurrections, rebellions, and domestic violence. After issuing a Cease and Desist Order, the President issues an executive order that directs the Attorney General and the SECDEF to take appropriate steps to disperse insurgents and restore law and order. The Attorney General is then responsible to coordinate the federal response to domestic civil disturbances. The restrictions of the Posse Comitatus Act no longer apply to federal troops executing the orders of the President to quell the disturbance in accordance with Rules of the Use of Force (RUF) approved by the DoD General Counsel and the Attorney General.”

good post. Holder is doing the opposite of what is expected of him.
His, and obama’s, agenda come first — before the will of the People.

Long before Rodney King, on my 21st. birthday the LAPD put me in the hospital. Skull fractures, broken nose, internal injuries, brain trauma, pissing blood. This damage was done after I was handcuffed for loud drunken music late at night — nothing more.
No riots. No Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson springing to action to rescue my black ass. Why? Because I am white. They would rather burn a cross on my lawn than help anybody of my color.
This is what I think about when i hear the name, Rodney King. He got off easy, with extra credit for being black.

Poor Rodney is broke and living on Barry’s 99 week plan. Rodney was just like Land Deal Reid and Congress, no budget.

“Race riots this summer would be such a “distraction.” Hmmmm.”

I don’t know if “race riots” is the correct term, but I do know it will all wash out one of two ways.

2. Zimmerman convicted – whites will debate the political machine and how a fair trial never occurred.

Wonder if there will be 22 unsolved murders twenty years after the skittles riots…

Rodney King deserved the beating he got. He is a career criminal and woman beater. He deserved it for his criminal behaviour during and after his wild drunken driving spree which could have resulted in the death of innocent people. He got off easy.
